JUNGLE POOL TWO

The tiger wasn't too displeased
His jungle pool had gone,
A second pool had quickly teased
His hopes to rest upon...
So off he strolled, content at heart,
Aware what lay in store,
A hideaway where life could start
With pleasures there galore...

As if God had reserved his place,
He gently plodded in,
His paws positioned on the base,
As he smirked with a grin...
This is the life, he seemed to say...
What more could he ask now?
And so he spent that time of day
Enjoying life... and how!

My camera clicked this merry soul
As I stood in the shade,
That tiger lost all self-control,
As if he had it made!
The sun was way too hot and yet
That tiger swam in peace
And was I jealous? Yes, you bet!
All I had was a breeze...
